microformal

Pertaining to the internal structure of a single phrase.

For example, the note values and tonality of a phrase cannot be chosen independently of those of the other phrases; and similar restirctions apply also for many other microformal characteristics.

However, the results of the research do implicitly show how musical form reflects and implies some of these mental devices. In the first two repertories examined, the rules have been divided into two categories: macroformal and microformal rules.

Pertaining to the characteristics and patterns of lines or phrases, as opposed to the structure of the entire work.

Other microformal characteristics also mark these traditional, oral tales, such as the absence of the necessary enjambment — the basic element is the line or the hemistich, as also in the romancero -- and what Parry calls the thrift of formulaic art ("each position in the verse tends to allow one way rather than many ways of saying any one thing" if we are speaking of a single bard), a quality also found in Hesiod.

Shakespeare's microformal analysis is the commensurate response to a world of forms emerging into and out of relation.

Involving structure on a localized, small scale.

Both microformal and mesoformal deformations of the bed are considered in the analytical study.

A program of excavation in commoner house groups was selected with the intention of recovering a representative sample of diagnostic ceramics, which would be subjected to a fine-grained microformal analysis as well as a battery of standard tests and classification.

Having a miniaturized form.

Respectful of its microformal origins, it is distributed with a microfiche that duplicates the printed version but sometimes contains additional material.

It cannot be the function of a textbook collection to be a kind of microformal university library.

Involving substances in which extremely small volumes are involved (such as antibiotics, antibodies or viruses).

Hydrolysis of the substrate was measured by a microformal titration, by using 0.05N sodium hydroxide, a manostat microtitrator, and a Beckman Zeromatic pH meter to determine the micromoles of acid liberated in a given time.

Assay of C1 esterase involves microformal titration of the acid liberated from ATEe (a stock concentration of 1.6 M in 2-methoxy-ethanol) during 15-min incubation at 37C according to the method of Levy and Lepow (11).
